So net is $195. I finally bit the bullet - based on advice here (thanks
all), plus the apparent deal. FWIW. -- Igor

Sounds like a good deal. I paid about $350 CAD for the dual base kit
about 18 months back when the northern peso was worth about $0.68 US
instead of the $0.83 it is today.
Hi Igor........Dear group,
Wow! That is a good deal. I just bought the same exact router for
the same price from Amazon last month and I only got the edge guide,
which was the reason I bought it in the first place. Sears was
selling it's Craftsman Pro grade router for $179, but it didn't come
with an edge guide. It's really the Bosch 1617 Evs in red. After doing
the math, I had to go with the Amazon deal. They always
say........good things come to those that wait! Well I can NEVER WAIT!
If I want or need a tool..........I'm buying it. So all of you out
there needing a good router this is the time to buy from Amazon! Good
luck with yours Igor.
